Over the years several guitarists have joined and left the band, including ?berg, Vic, Surth (known from Svartsyn), Poock, John Blackwar and Stormbringer (from Imperious) with Hr?svelg playing the drums, Kolgrim the bass and both sharing the vocal duties. In late January 97, Unpure started rehearsing with a session drummer Jonathon as Hr?svelg moved to take over the guitar duty, in preparation for a European tour which got cancelled. Jonathon remained on the drummer's seat however.
The current and most stable line-up thus is:
Hr?svelg: Guitars, vocals
Kolgrim: Bass, vocals
Jonathon: Drums
